NAME
dtas-sinkedit - edit the command and environment of a sink
SYNOPSYS
dtas-sinkedit SINKNAME
DESCRIPTION
dtas-sinkedit spawns an editor to allow editing of a sink as a YAML
file. See dtas-player_protocol(7) for details on SINKARGS.
On Linux machines with the sleepy_penguin RubyGem installed, inotify(7)
is used to monitor the file for changes while the text exitor is
running. Each time a user finishes saving a file, changes are committed
immediately. This behavior may be disabled by using the -N or --no-watch
command-line switch.
OPTIONS
-N, --no-watch
Disable inotify(7) support on Linux systems
-n, --dry-run
Only print commands which would be sent to dtas-player
-V, --verbose
Print out commands as they are sent to dtas-player
EXAMPLES
To get a list of existing sink names
$ dtas-ctl ls
Invoking dtas-sinkedit will spawn your favorite text editor on a given
SINKNAME:
$ dtas-sinkedit SINKNAME
If SINKNAME was not listed, it will be created (in an inactive state).
Successfully exiting your text editor will send the changes to the
running dtas-player.
ENVIRONMENT
VISUAL / EDITOR - your favorite *nix text editor, defaults to 'vi' if
unset.
DTAS_PLAYER_SOCK - the path to the dtas-player control socket. This
defaults to ~/.dtas/player.sock
